Publication number: 20110115312Abstract: Disclosed herein is a brushless DC motor. The brushless DC motor includes a rotating shaft, a bearing, an integrated washer holder, a rotor casing, a stator and a support plate. The bearing rotatably supports the rotating shaft in the radial direction. The integrated washer holder supports the lower end of the rotating shaft and the circumferential outer surface of the bearing. The rotor casing integrally rotates along with the rotating shaft. A rotor magnet is attached to the inner surface of the rotor casing. The stator is provided around the circumferential outer surface of the integrated washer holder such that the stator faces the rotor magnet.
